Apparently the ex-Disney star's recent penchant for twerking caught the attention of a man who likes to turn heads himself. Cyrus reportedly bailed on her own MTV Video Music Award after-party to help the Chi-City rapper remix his single, "Black Skinhead."

On Thursday, Sister Cristina Scuccia, a 25-year-old Sicilian nun, clinched victory in "The Voice of Italy" with a spirited performance of "What a Feeling," the catchy theme from "Flashdance." Though unlike Jennifer Beals, who strutted her stuff in a high-cut leotard and leg-warmers in the 1983 film, Scuccia opted for a habit, crucifix and sensible loafers. She was flanked by a team of dancers who stripped off their monk-like robes to reveal neon pink, yellow and green suits.

According to the Guardian, Scuccia led a rebellious youth and strayed from her Catholic upbringing but received a calling to become a nun after auditioning for a musical about the founder of the Ursuline order, St. Angela Merici. She entered the convent in 2009 and spent a period of time working with young people in Brazil. A trained singer, Scuccia has said she was inspired to audition for "The Voice" by Pope Francis' call for Catholics to “get out onto the streets.”

After triumphing Thursday with more than 60% of the vote, Scuccia recited the Lord's Prayer on stage and invited the panel of judges to join her. "I want Jesus to enter here," she said.

What's not yet clear is how her prize, a recording contract with Universal, might conflict with the modest lifestyle of a nun. Scuccia has said she would like to continue singing "wherever the Lord wants."

No offense to Josh Kaufman or Caleb Johnson (the most recent winners of "The Voice" and "American Idol," in case you're wondering), but Europe seems to have cornered the market on interesting talent competition winners of late. Just last month, bearded Austrian drag queen Conchita Wurst clinched the top prize at the annual Eurovision Song Contest.

But even in an overwhelmingly Catholic country, not everyone is embracing Scuccia's fame, with some suggesting her notoriety is inappropriate for a nun while others have dismissed her as a gimmick.

Still, if there's one thing that Scuccia's victory proves, it's you can still rock while wearing sensible shoes.

After everyone from Alabama to Coldplay, OneRepublic to Tim McGraw, Ed Sheeran (twice), Robin Thicke and members of this season's Top 20 contestants had performed, along with the final three singers themselves, we finally found out who won Season 6 of "The Voice." And that person was … Josh Kaufman...

To the delight of comedy nerds the world over, "Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp" -- the eight-episode revival of the 2001 cult favorite starring Paul Rudd, Amy Poehler and Elizabeth Banks -- premiered Friday on Netflix.

When "Wet Hot American Summer" was released in theaters in July of 2001, the oddball comedy brought in just $295,000 at the box office — barely enough to buy a house in the suburbs, much less recoup its meager $1.8-million budget.

Were you to imagine a follow-up to “Wet Hot American Summer,” David Wain and Michael Showalter's 2001 absurdist parody of an 1980s summer camp movie, it likely would not be as a prequel in which all the members of the main cast, now 14 years older, return to play their old characters in a story...
